Lucas SWCD Native Plant Sale
2025-05-16 15:00 - 18:00 | Lucas Water & Soil Conservation District, 3350 Hill Ave., Suite K, Toledo, OH, 43607, United States
Lucas Soil & Water Conservation District (Lucas SWCD) is excited to once again offer garden enthusiasts and plant lovers a chance to buy locally-grown native plants this spring! All are welcome to come to our office on May 16th between 3-6 PM to not only buy native plants, but also other items like rain barrels, composting kits, garden signs, soil test kits, and more. The event is free, rain or shine, and open to everyone. Supplies are limited and no sales prior to 3 PM.
We will also have other partner agencies’ information tables and food trucks this year. New items for this year’s sale include Native Pollinator Garden Kits as well as the ability to pick-up pre-ordered garden compost from GoZERO.
If you are wondering what makes a plant “native”, it means that it is a specific species of plant that has grown naturally in this area for many years and is accustomed to our climate, soils, and precipitation. In addition, the wildlife we have here are dependent upon the native plants that they have co-existed with for many, many years. Adding native plants to the landscape is one way we can all help the environment.
To learn more about this event and to see the tentative list of plants that will be available, please visit our website at: www.LucasSWCD.org/nativeplantsale.

Live at the Library with Joshua Davis
2025-05-29 18:30 - 20:00 | Toledo Lucas County Public Main Library, 325 N. Michigan St., Toledo, OH, 43604, United States
Toledo Lucas County Public Library welcomes all to our concert series, Live at the Library, featuring musical talent as they tour the country. This month, we welcome singer and guitarist Joshua Davis.
Joshua Davis was raised in the folk tradition, immersed in music, social movements, and the land. With a voice both weathered and warm, Davis captivates audiences, bringing confessional intimacy to any stage, whether a global venue or a small, offbeat room. His poetic sensibility, tireless work ethic, and remarkable ability to connect with listeners of all ages have made him a standout troubadour.
For over two decades, the Michigan-based artist has honed his craft as a songwriter, bandleader, guitarist, and vocalist. Deeply invested in the American musical diaspora, Davis explores the threads connecting folk, blues, jazz, ragtime, and country, all while forging his own unique style. “I’m not a purist,” he explains. “I play with the American folk lineage and its metaphors.”
A finalist on NBC’s The Voice (Season 8), Davis has released a steady stream of albums, each reflecting his heartfelt observations on life, love, and change. His latest release, Live From The Robin, recorded over two nights, pares his songs to their emotional, musical, and lyrical roots. It offers a raw, intimate glimpse of an artist in deep conversation with his audience. “I’ve wanted to make this album for years,” Davis says. “I love playing solo shows. They let me dig deep into my songs and really connect with the moment.”
